Founded in 2010, Root 2 Rise Yoga hosts community yoga events, wellness retreats, meditation workshops, and classes that integrate appreciation for nature, cultural diversity and the arts in Los Angeles, California, and internationally. Our mission is to inspire and facilitate self-empowering love and connection between one’s mind, body, spirit and Mother Nature, thus, uplifting oneself and the global community in wellness, universal wisdom and peace through living yoga, as Patanjali defines in the Yoga Sutras, "Yoga is union."

Root 2 Rise Yoga is something all people with an interest in enriching themselves would benefit from. The accepting atmosphere, generous teachers, and positive perspective are invaluable. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go (to "In Harmony with Spring," Yoga, Nature & Wellness Retreat, April 2017).​-Evan Jacobsen (Northridge, CA)

What Our Clients Are Saying

Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people!-Rebekah B. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YELP Reviews

Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it.-Marianne Manes (Los Angeles, CA)

Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul...​-Christin M. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YELP Reviews

Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging...-Jessica L. (North Hollywood, CA) *See more YELP Reviews

My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago. ​You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart. With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class. I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too.-Janette Guzman (Northridge, CA)
